WALDAN Based in New York, Waldan has always offered watches that lived up to what Swiss Made was intended to represent. Using the highest grade Swiss calibers available of a given type, the engine within a Waldan stands the test of time, as well as the scrutiny of the loupe. No, they are not using some exotic and purportedly in-house Calibre XYZ, rather, from father to son the tradition of crafting small qualtities of timeless timepieces continues on. Now run by the second generation of Waldans, the basic cues that made a Waldan watch the epitome of a traditional watch have evolved into the modern era without losing their identity. The titanium DLC edition shown here has grown a bit larger into a 42 mm frame, and has eschewed precious metal for a darker, sportier look, but the stepped bezel, lugs, and subtle cues from the first generation remain. Inside is a COSC Chronometer- rated Valjoux 7751 enhanced with a custom 18-karat gold rotor. Prices are $ 12,500.00 each and you can see them in person at Waldan’ s new Manhattan boutique.
